To the (Hass of January 1953: To me it seems only yesterday that the members of this class entered the front door and timidly went to the Auditorium to be assigned to their rooms. Yet it was nearly four years ago on February 1, 1949. From shy little girls and awkward lads you have grown into charming young women and splendid young men. My hope is that your intellectual achievement, spiritual growth, and character development have kept pace with your stature. A happy future to all of you! -ct Vice Principal 3

I congratulate the Class of January 1953 on its privilege of participation in the answer to this challenge.
